>>2799532I did it in May-June 2019 and was very happy with that timeframe. Weather was excellent, only 3 days of rain in the whole 5 weeks. I have friend who did it in winter and it's feasible, although a lot of pilgrim hostels will be closed. As far as I observed, you can do some wild camping if you are not an asshole about it (if you are near private property, be nice and ask for permission if you can). People are generally very supportive towards pilgrims. Also, if pilgrim hostels are closed in a town and you dont want to pay extra for hotels, ask around in the church / municipal buildings for accomodation. Sometimes they let you sleep somewhere inside, or at least they will give you tips about cheap hostels.
